10 Laptops That Are Worth Buying Used

9. MSI Gaming Laptops (Katana, Stealth, etc.)

MSI is often overlooked, but it makes killer gaming laptops — and they’re usually cheaper than the competition. Models like the Katana offer serious specs: 15.6" 1080p 144Hz screen, Intel i7-13620H CPU, RTX 4060 GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB SSD.

Performance-wise, it's neck and neck with Dell’s G15, but typically sells for less. If you’re after a future-ready machine under $1,000, used MSI laptops are worth hunting for. Just double-check model names and reviews — MSI has a lot of different series.
